Chapter 136: Smooth Promotion
The joint appearance of the five chefs immediately detonated the entire arena.
Whether it is in the arena or outside the arena, whether it is the contestants or the audience, but all those who are present today, most of them have a strong interest in cooking, so in the face of the chefs who have made great contributions to Chinese cooking, they are even more respectful, not only who took the lead in applauding first, but later, a round of applause rang out in the arena, and these applause was given to these five old chefs who have made great contributions to Chinese cooking!
Ten minutes later, with the coordination of the venue staff and volunteers, the chaotic competition due to the appearance of the five chefs returned to order, and the five chefs were also invited to the judges' seats.
Although there is no right to score, but at the request of everyone, the five chefs commented on the knife work of the contestants in this group one by one, and also gave guidance on knife practice, which made the contestants in the second group overjoyed, and also made the previous contestants in the first group extremely envious.
Being able to get the joint comments of the five chefs is an opportunity that you can't find with a lantern in normal times!
Yu Shoujin obviously has no face to stay any longer, facing the five old chefs who are far superior to him in terms of qualifications and influence, where does he dare to trouble them, so he found an excuse to be unwell, and left the competition area with a blushing face and covering his face amid the boos of the audience.
After Qiu Yin and others completed the comments on the contestants in the second group, the field calculation group began to announce the total scores of the three rounds of the contestants in the first group.
See this. Qiu Yin gently patted the microphone in front of him and coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention: "I just saw that many young friends are very upset after hearing about their results, and I empathize with this. Because I had the exact same experience as you back then. ”
Hearing Qiu Yin suddenly talk about his past, everyone's attention was attracted and they all showed a listening look.
Qiu Yin's face showed a hint of memory: "Fifty years ago, like most of you, I couldn't even pass the primary selection of the competition. ”
"Huh?" When they heard the words that came out of Qiu Yin's mouth, all the contestants and the audience showed surprise.
Who is Qiu Yin? That's the four-time chef king in China! Whether it is knife work or cooking skills, it is a first-class existence in the Chinese chef world!
But now he's telling people. Back then, he didn't even pass the preliminary round of the competition, which in the eyes of everyone, was even more mysterious than listening to the book of heaven!
Facing everyone's surprise, Qiu Yin smiled, pointed to the huge sea and others sitting beside him and said, "You don't need to be so surprised. Not only me, but the old guys sitting next to me are except for Lao Feng. The others were just like me. They all have the experience of being eliminated in the primaries. ”
As Qiu Yin's old friend for many years, Panghai and the others naturally understood Qiu Yin's intention in saying this, and immediately nodded in acknowledgement.
"Wow!" Everyone at the scene was in an uproar, they never thought that the chefs with superb cooking skills would have such a humiliating experience!
"Do you think it's a shame to be eliminated in the primary?" Qiu Yin's words broke everyone's hearts, the smile on his face gradually faded, and his expression slowly became serious. "The King Chef Competition has been held for the 18th time this year, and during this period, we have also produced hundreds of chefs in China, which has indeed driven the continuous development and growth of our team of chefs in China. But it also made us gradually forget the original intention of our predecessors to set up the King Chef Competition! ”
"The reason why our predecessors held this King of Chef Competition was to break the closed and blocked situation in various regions of our Chinese chef industry, so that chefs from all over the country could get together to communicate with each other, learn from each other's strengths, and bring forth the new, only in this way can our Chinese cooking skills be better improved and carried forward." Qiu Yin pointed to himself and his old friends beside him, "I met these old buddies of mine because of the King of Chef Competition, and became friends. ”
"But today, I don't see such a scene again," Qiu Yin pointed out the scene he encountered before the game, "Everyone is guarding against their opponents as if they are thieves, as if they are afraid that the other party will steal their cooking skills!" ”
Hearing Qiu Yin bluntly point out the alienated and wary state of the contestants before the competition, many contestants couldn't help but feel that their old faces were hot, and a look of shame appeared in their eyes.
Looking at the contestants in front of him, Qiu Yin's eyes revealed a trace of expectation: "Here, as an old chef, I tell you that it doesn't matter if you fail once, it doesn't matter if you fail twice, no one is born a chef, as long as you learn from failure, learn from others, and be good at communicating with others, learning from others and tempering them, then the next chef must be you!" ”
"This is the feeling of this bad old man, if you make everyone feel uncomfortable listening to it, I hope you will forgive me! I'm old, and I'm always a little nagging! ”
Speaking of the worst, Qiu Yin couldn't help but laugh at himself, but it made everyone present smile after listening to it, and couldn't help but applaud his heartfelt words.
"Xie Lu, thank you, old man! We will definitely try our best! Many players looked at Qiu Yin gratefully and spoke out one after another.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became warm and warm.
It was in this atmosphere that the second round of the second group began immediately.
Without any accidents, Happy once again lived up to expectations and won the highest score of the group, and when the volunteers in charge of weighing burst out the weight of the most delicious seasoning, the audience burst into applause again!
A total of 19 kinds of seasonings (because Yu Shoujin left the table halfway, the judges changed from 20 to 19), a total of 19 times scooped out the corresponding weight of seasonings, after measurement, happy that the weight of each scooped out of the seasoning is exactly the same as the weight reported by the judges, there is no deviation!
I'm afraid that such a terrifying feeling is not in the Jinghua Division, I'm afraid that even if it is the whole of China, I can't find a second person!
happily lived up to expectations and won the highest score in the second game, and the happiest was Li Muxue, who was the most in the audience, watching his beloved man win the highest score again. Li Muxue's heart didn't mention how happy she was, her two white and tender palms applauded vigorously, and her palms were red without knowing it.
This is followed by the third round of taste competition.
Happy won the audience with the terrifying achievement of identifying 28 kinds of seasonings, and what is even more incredible is that he not only distinguishes the type of seasoning in the soup, but also clearly writes the variety of seasonings!
"There are a total of 28 kinds of seasonings in this soup, of which vinegar accounts for three kinds, namely Shan\Xichen vinegar, Zhen\Jiang balsamic vinegar and Jiangsu-Zhejiang rice vinegar!"
Happy not only could tell that there was vinegar mixed in the soup, but also the type of vinegar, and the staff in charge of mixing the seasoning could see Happy answer. also showed a look of horror, if he were himself, after mixing so many seasonings, if there was no assistant to record from the side, I am afraid he would not be able to completely remember so many seasonings!
After three rounds. At the end of the second group, Happy without any suspense directly advanced to the semi-finals with a terrifying score only two points behind the total score.
After the game. Many contestants and spectators congratulated the fun. Li Muxue held her happy arms like a bird, her face full of pride and joy.
Mu Tusu on the side even said when he met people: See, this is my brother! is so proud, as if he is happy that he is not winning the qualification for promotion, but has won the name of the king of chefs!
"Okay, okay, isn't it just a primary? What to be proud of! In the end, the huge sea couldn't stand it anymore, and covered his eyes to stop Mu Tusu's show-off behavior.
"Well, in general. This time it played pretty well. Qiu Yin nodded with satisfaction, "But what Lao Pang said is right, this is just a preliminary match, compared to the later knockout rounds, the first two weeks of trials are just a warm-up match!" ”
"Master, who are you and this happy master?" Wu Weinong saw from the words and deeds of Qiu Yin and the others that their relationship with Happy was not ordinary, so he asked cautiously.
Wu Weinong has already understood from the explosive reports of the TV media some time ago, and he is still full of good feelings for this self-made young man.
"Hehe, he, he can be regarded as a registered disciple of mine!" Qiu Yin laughed, his words full of pride.
"It's also our registered disciple!" Seeing this, the huge sea and others on the side immediately couldn't wait to add.
Only Feng Wanchun was the only one with a gentle smile and said softly, "He is my personal disciple!" ”
"Scared?!" If the first four old men said that they were happy because of their registered disciples, Wu Weinong was slightly surprised, then Feng Wanchun's words suddenly set off a monstrous wave in his heart!
As Qiu Yin's personal disciple, Wu Weinong naturally knew what kind of amazing cooking skills this Uncle Feng had, but for so many years, he had never heard of Feng Wanchun accepting any apprentices!
Originally, Wu Weinong and his brothers were still lamenting that the secret technique of incense condensation might be lost, but they unexpectedly saw the inheritor of the next generation of incense condensing secret technique today!
It can be said that the inheritor who has obtained the secret technique of incense will become a generation of chefs in the future without any suspense!
"Okay, Anon, you go back first, you still need to be in charge here!" Seeing that the third game was about to start, Qiu Yin immediately urged Wu Weinong to go back, "I and your uncles will go back with Xingxing first!" ”
"Hey! Master, uncles, you are good to go! Wu Weinong naturally knew which was more important, so he reluctantly said goodbye to a few elders, and said a few words to the new junior brother of Xingxing, and went back.
The happy person who was qualified for the promotion naturally didn't stay here for long, and went back after greeting everyone. As for the information of the next competition, it will naturally be notified separately by the organizing committee of the competition.
At the same time, in the famous Shan\West Noodle Restaurant in the university town, Hu Laosan was cautiously accompanying Yu Shoujin's side, listening to his roar.
"That damn old fellow! He embarrassed me with his old qualifications! Old and immortal! Didn't you say he died thirty years ago? How come you're still alive?! Yu Shoujin slapped the table fiercely, and kept roaring in his mouth.
"Master, you dissipate your anger! Eliminate gas! Isn't it just a few old immortals, you are angry for them, it's not worth it! "Hu Laosan's heart is so bitter! Yu Shoujin didn't come early or late, but he ran over when he was about to arrive at the meal, good guy, this roar directly scared the guests in the noodle restaurant away!
But even if there is a lot of bitterness in his heart, Hu Laosan doesn't dare to show it at all, after all, it is his master sitting in front of him, Yu Shoujin, one of the top ten chefs in China!
After Yu Shoujin was angry, he obviously felt that his anger was much smoother, he glanced at Hu Laosan and said, "Hmph! Xiaohu, I originally thought you were lying to me, but now it seems that what you said should be true! ”
Hearing Yu Shoujin's words, Hu Laosan's forehead couldn't help but burst into a row of fine sweat, he was defeated by happiness because he was not angry, and he always wanted to find a way to get back to the field, when he heard the news that Happy actually signed up for this year's King of Chef Competition, he knew that the opportunity had come.
Hu Laosan immediately called Yu Shoujin, who was far away in the mountains and west, saying that he had met a pasta master in Jinghua, who was not only superb in cooking, but also very disdainful of the noodle king, and he challenged him out of the maintenance of the dignity of his master, and was defeated.
Originally, Hu Laosan hoped to arouse the anger in Yu Shoujin's heart by doing this, so that he could suggest that Yu Shoujin give full play to his connections and make him stumble when he was happy to participate in the King of Chef Competition, so that he could not pass the competition smoothly.
As a result, Hu Laosan never expected that this Yu Shoujin would be so cautious, and he went directly to Jinghua to see how happy he was, and as a result, there was the previous series of farces.
Yu Shoujin didn't know what Hu Laosan was talking about, he glanced at Hu Laosan who was standing on the side and didn't dare to come out, and snorted coldly: "I didn't expect that stinky boy to have something to do with that Song Xiande!" Hmph, I've finally got my chance! ”
At that time, Yu Shoujin's father Yu Deshui was pulled off the throne of the king of chefs by Song Xiande, and Yu Deshui remembered this grievance clearly, and passed on this grievance to his son, hoping that his son could help him get rid of his shame.
It's just that Yu Shoujin's culinary talent failed to become a saint after all, and by the time he accumulated step by step to have the strength of the king of chefs, Song Xiande had already washed his hands of gold and did not dare to retire, so Yu Shoujin also lost the opportunity to be ashamed of his father.
But today, he suddenly discovered that this happiness had a lot to do with Song Xiande, judging from the performance of those old immortals, this happiness was likely to be the chef they had cultivated!
Yu Shoujin picked up the chopsticks on the table and folded them into two pieces with a "snap".
"The humiliation suffered by the old man of my family back then, plus the humiliation I have suffered today, I will definitely return it to you!" (To be continued......)
